Topics include polyphase circuits, complex frequency and frequency response of linear networks, magnetically coupled circuits, two-port networks, Fourier analysis, Laplace transform techniques, and operational amplifiers. Includes engineering design applications.

Fundamental concepts and basic theory of classical thermodynamics including study of the first and second laws of thermodynamics, properties of pure substances, thermodynamic states and functions, applications to engineering.

Fundamental concepts, principles and applications of heat transfer by conduction, free and forced convection, and radiation, including analysis by numerical methods and computer modeling.

Special topics in various areas of engineering. The course will address one area such as heat transfer, hydraulics, or control system. The specific topic will be listed on the class schedule.

Kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Includes the applications of Newton's laws, work-energy and impulse-momentum and their applications to determine the motion of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions.

The course covers stresses and deformations in determinate and indeterminate structural members and machine elements; material properties; loading modes including axial, shear, torsion and bending; combined stresses and stress transformations; design and deflection of beams and shafts and buckling of columns.

Individual research is conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. Topic and format must be approved by the Department Chairperson and Dean.
